Metrnl protects intestinal barrier function by regulating tight junctions via the IKKβ/IκBα/NFκB/MLCK/MLC signaling pathway

Abstract Meteorin-like (Metrnl), also known as Subfatin, IL-41, or Cometin, is a secreted protein predominantly expressed in the intestinal epithelium. The intestinal barrier, primarily consisting of epithelial cells connected by tight junctions, is essential for maintaining gut homeostasis by preve...
